The New Zealand Timber Museum has attracted social media attention recently The Archives include maps, photographs, documents and items relating to the as well as a SW News article but the notion of on-line perception is reported on Major History of the district, including Sawmilling, Forests and Forest Equipment elsewhere in this issue, pages 30 - 31. and it also carries information on Local Dams and Schools along with much other interesting local documentation. At the 17 June meeting of the South Waikato District Council the decision to reduce the funding allocation to the New Zealand Timber Museum was made, making it $50,000 rather than the previous SWDC funding workshop decision of $144,000. At the 30 July SWDC Public Business Agenda session the 17 June decision was rescinded and the original amount of $144,000 reinstated. The Prattler does not intend to re-work the in's and out's of these events but rather sow stimulation seeds. The museum is on a reserve. The grounds are maintained for all to enjoy, including the toilets. Visitors are welcome to come in walk around the green and picnic. The only charge is for entry to the museum. Future plans include creating a walkway around the whole reserve and once the café is in operation (end of 2021/early 2022) it will be a delightful place to enjoy an afternoon, with the museum as an optional extra. The Archives at the museum include a comprehensive history of all district mills, including the Tuck and Watkins Mill which the museum features as a major exhibit.

  • Valuation of Water Quality Improvements in the Karapiro Catchment: a Choice Modelling Approach
    Valuation of Water Quality Improvements in the Karapiro Catchment: A Choice Modelling Approach Dan Marsh And Ramesh Baskaran A Contributed Paper to the Australian Agricultural & Resource Economics Society’s Annual Conference, Cairns, February 11-13, 2009. Valuation of Water Quality Improvements in the Karapiro Catchment: A Choice Modelling Approach Dan Marsh1 and Ramesh Baskaran2 1Department of Economics, University of Waikato, Private Bag 3105, Hamilton, New Zealand, [email protected], 2Lincoln University New Zealand [email protected] Abstract Water pollution is widely considered to be one of the most important environmental issues facing New Zealand. Waikato region residents have reported that water pollution is easily their most important environmental concern in each of four attitude surveys conducted by Environment Waikato. Technical and regulatory mechanisms to reduce water pollution, especially non-point source pollution from agriculture are the focus of an intensive research effort both in New Zealand and internationally. This work should assist farmers and policy makers to identify the most cost effective options for achieving any given improvement in water quality. Research described in this paper aims to complement existing research projects by developing appropriate methodology for valuation of water quality improvements in New Zealand. It is envisaged that this type of information will inform the policy process by allowing decision makers to consider both the costs and the benefits of different levels of water quality improvements. This paper describes the first phase focussed on the Karapiro catchment which used focus groups and choice modelling in order to understand and quantify the value of water quality improvements in the catchment.

  • Arapuni Finally Celebrates a Dam Good Job
    Rassegna Stampa Mercoledì, 24 ottobre 2007 Arapuni finally celebrates a dam good job They've done a dam good job. That was the verdict from all quarters at the completion of the highly challenging two-year Arapuni Dam foundation enhancement project yesterday. In July 2005, Mighty River Power began work on the 80-year-old Arapuni hydro dam, 16km west of Putaruru on the Waikato River, to fix a seepage problem that was first identified in 1929. Yesterday, to the relief of the small Arapuni community, the dam roadway across the Arapuni Gorge, which connects the Waipa and South Waikato district councils, was finally re-opened. Speakers at the opening ceremony praised the "alliance" work of Mighty River Power, Italian foundation-engineering company specialist Trevi, and Brian Perry Civil, which carried out a precision-drilling programme to stabilise fissures in rock beneath the Arapuni Dam. South Waikato mayor Neil Sinclair said it had been a special project for the district. "Over the whole period, there was not one complaint from the community," he said. The $20 million Arapuni project attracted international interest because it was the first of its type to be undertaken world-wide while a dam remained operational. Mighty River Power project manager Tom Newson said the project took a year longer to complete than originally expected because of the difficulty in drilling 136 400mm interconnected holes up to 90 metres in depth from the top of the dam into the rock. The project won a Shell Environmental Excellence merit award at the New Zealand Contractors Federation 2007 conference in recognition of the efforts taken to minimise the environmental impact.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

Adsorption of Colour from Pulp and Paper Mill Wastewaters onto Diatomaceous Earths A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry at The University of Waikato by Shane B Carter 2007 © 2007 Shane B Carter II Abstract Production of pulp and paper from raw wood involves the washing of substantial quantities of highly coloured material from the wood pulp. Although most of this colour is trapped within the mill and the mills wastewater treatment system, discharge of coloured wastewater remains a problem of public concern. Lake Rotorua, New Zealand is filled with sediment consisting almost exclusively of diatoms. The most abundant species, Aulacoseira, has been shown to have very small pores (< 200 nm) that could be very useful for the capture and holding of large organic molecules.
